checkpatch is a perl script that does pattern matching, it is really
hard for it to determine for things like this specific example, that it
is not needed.

Try finding other valid checkpatch cleanups if you wish to contribute in
this way, there are loads of others under drivers/staging/ that should
be easy to find.
